They also had a bunch of con artists on like Tony Robbins. Am I the only one that lost respect for them?

Re: How to Name a Suburb Development

1. Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

2. And the people in the houses
All go to the university,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

3. And they all play on the golf-course,
And drink their Martini dry,
And they all have pretty children,
And the children go to school.
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
And they all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.

4. And the boys go into business,
And marry, and raise a family,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

Re: I Paid 5 Pounds For “In Rainbows”

Jason Sares — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 10:57:12 -0000

I paid $3.50 GBP which I thought was a great deal. The site was a little buggy when I placed my order but the download was easy.

Re: Dexter: Thinly Veiled Societal Sickness

Jason Sares — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:35:32 -0000

I love the show. It's not about the fantasy of killing people but the interactions between the characters. You have to watch the show to understand but Dexter chopping people up is not the reason most people watch.

Re: The Correct Way to Pronounce “OS X” [Video]

Jason Sares — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:32:02 -0000

It's even more confusing to talk about the point updates.

Consider Leopard it's OS X 10.5 and I'm sure soon will be OS X 10.5.1

Do you pronounce both 'tens'?

To be honest I don't care because after the way Apple treated iPhone unlockers I will never be a customer again.

Re: Read This if You Believe in Man-Made Global Warming

Jason Sares — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 23:59:30 -0000

While I still believe Human civilization is the leading cause of global warming I do defend Daniel's right to say whatever he likes. This is his god damn blog after all.

-Daniel I don't think you have a problem. I think other people have problems when people speak their minds. Don't change.

Re: Remember, Remember, the 5th of November

Jason Sares — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:47:48 -0000

I wish we had more choices like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich. But at the same time they both have crazy beliefs I can't agree with. Ron Paul is a Christian Fundamentalist who would overturn Roe vs Wade and would like to outlaw abortion and Dennis Kucinich has seen UFOs.

Re: President Bush is Dog the Bounty Hunter With a Motorcade

Re: I Honestly Don’t See Any Way For the U.S. to Succeed

Jason Sares — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:26:48 -0000

There's just not enough jobs to go around. When I lived in Cleveland I helped train people for tech jobs. Most of my students passed and we have done well in entry level jobs but they couldn't find any. So as a PR stunt for the Mayor at the time (Jane Campbell) we hired one at the company I worked for but we let him go a couple months later because we could get someone better for the same pay.

Re: Revisiting McCain’s Defense of Obama

Jason Sares — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:43:54 -0000

The meme that Obama is an Arab is being propagated by the extreme right. They are saying he's not black but Arab. McCain knows about this and wanted to stop her before she said something even crazier.

Re: A Brilliant Analysis of the GOP’s “Socialism” Cry

Jason Sares — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:56:12 -0000

Actually none of this is Socialism (capital S):

-- Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.

No one (mainstream) is suggesting the US Government control the production of goods at a micro level. Socialism is what the USSR and China used to have. Even China is much less of a true Socialist nation than it used to be.

Jason Sares — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:15:43 -0000

Move to a wealthy neighborhood. I don't have time right now to look up stats but the type of low level crime you're talking about happens much less in wealthy area because wealthy people have very little reason to commit petty crimes.

Re: 'Environmentalists' Destroy Hummer

Jason Sares — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:47:29 -0000

Vandalism isn't going to stop people from buying Hummers. And now there is going to be more impact when he repairs his Hummer.

But I should point out he is being good to the environment by living at home. One of the biggest reason Americans consume more is because we all insist of living by ourselves instead of in groups.

I Europe it's still not unusual for people to live with their families until they marry and sometimes even afterwards.

Re: Burning Man: Is There Anything Green About It?

Jason Sares — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:17:47 -0000

I was there for the second time this year. If it was a different festival (think hunters or gun owners) treehuggers would be screaming their heads off.

I had a great time but the amount of materials and fuels used is crazy. If you feel you should do everything possible to reduce resource use this is not the event for you. If you think you have to enjoy life while you can I'll see you in BRC next year.
